Chapter 137: This world that only kills but not buries (Part 2)
March 1, 1948, Port of Perth, Western Australia
The sun rises as usual, and a new dawn comes.
Australia is the smallest continent on the planet and also the loneliest. This lonely continent is surrounded by the vast ocean, isolated from the world, and so lonely that it is difficult for travelers to reach it. It is not a neighbor of any country; its borders are only reflections of itself. Perth, the capital of Western Australia, was once the most difficult place to reach on this continent. It was poetically described by literati as "the last prosperity at the end of the continent".
However, even so, the colonial frenzy of the Age of Discovery and the flames of the World War still did not let go of this remote corner.
——The Australia that the Anglo-Saxon nation captured through war and massacre was captured again by the Japanese with a more cruel and bloody butcher knife.
To this day, the white immigrants who originally lived in Western Australia, except for a few white-skinned women who were kept in comfort stations for sexual pleasure, have basically been systematically killed by the Japanese occupying forces. The indigenous people who lived here earlier had already been slaughtered by the British colonists. Therefore, the Port of Perth now has completely become a world dominated by the Yamato ethnic group, and the people walking on the streets are all standard yellow faces.
After making a big fuss in the Indian Ocean, bombarding warehouses in ports such as Calcutta, making some contributions to the outbreak of famine in Bengal, and leaving a bunch of bullet marks on his ships, he returned in triumph after all the oil and bombs were gone. The "Blue Mermaid" Japanese Navy women's fleet came to Western Australia and dispersed to various ports in Western Australia to rest. Since four months ago, the majestic and majestic battleship Yamato, which represents the pride of the Japanese nation and the wonder of contemporary industry, and is the world's largest tonnage, has been anchored outside the mouth of the Swan River, undulating and rippling slightly with the waves. .
It was early in the morning, and the clear wake-up call had already been blown on the Yamato battleship, and the aroma of breakfast was wafting from the kitchen and mess hall. Just as a group of Japanese widows, wives, ladies, royal sisters, lolita and young girls wearing sailor uniforms of different sizes (the Yamato currently also serves as a girls' naval elementary school and a girls' navy kindergarten), they were chirping like five hundred ducks while raising their hands. Chopsticks attack the food At that time, Wang Qiu, Ma Tong, Political Commissar Guo, Li Wei, silver-haired twin girls Gretel and Hansel, female school doctor Marikawa Shizuka and Yamato's current captain Minami Rika and other visitors from other worlds were also on the bridge. Parasols and small round tables were set up on the terrace, and we gathered together to dine after a long absence.
The Japanese breakfast provided on the warship is very simple. Each person has a bowl of miso soup with fried tofu and bacon, a bowl of "rice rice" mixed with barley, and a plate of canned green beans or fish floss, if necessary. If so, you can also mix soy sauce and pickles into the rice yourself.
Well, although there are no appetizing delicacies, looking at Minarika’s heroic appearance in a military uniform, and Teacher Shizuka Marikawa who once again put on a white coat and nurse’s hat, I think of them last night Her charming and unrestrained nature still made Wang Qiu feel in a good mood.
——In the captain's room of the famous battleship Yamato, where the legendary Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto once stayed, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the purple-haired female captain with wheat-colored skin... How could such a sense of accomplishment and psychological satisfaction be achieved? Why don't you say the word "cool"?
However, when he saw Teacher Marikawa Shizuka dressed as a female doctor, Wang Qiu couldn't help but turn his attention to the beach opposite. Compared with when the Yamato first arrived in Perth, a garden hotel building that looks like a large villa resort has already been erected next to the beach at the mouth of the Swan River. However, compared with ordinary beach resorts, the barbed wire fence surrounding the building and the red cross erected on the roof are particularly eye-catching.
"...Speaking of which...after all the troubles in the world, in the end, the interdimensional sanatorium was set up in Perth!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
——Previously, before the connection with the world of "Doraemon" was severed, Wang Qiu used a huge special allocation from the country and managed to purchase a large number of "secondary dolls" through his friendship with Doraemon. Black technological props of the twelfth century." Among these black technology props in Doraemon's plane, those medical props that can treat terminal illnesses are the most sought after by government bosses. After all, life is priceless, and the more powerful an old man is, the more he cherishes his life. However, those props used in medical treatment, such as [automatic medical kits], are not so much high-tech products as unscientific products made by alchemy. They cannot operate at all in the real world and can only be operated in the plot world. use.
Therefore, every time Wang Qiu travels to another world and comes to a strange time and space, he shoulders the important task of opening a cross-time and space sanatorium to "serve the people."
Wang Qiu has opened several cross-time and space sanatoriums in Hainan Island and Australia in the late Ming Dynasty, as well as in the rural Montana farm in the Marvel world, and in the British country manor in the "Pride and Prejudice" plane. , and using the black technology props of the Doraemon world, millions of modern Chinese terminally ill patients have been cured. However, given China’s huge population base, this number is still just a drop in the ocean. Not to mention that for diplomatic and political considerations, the government has to admit some terminally ill patients from foreign countries to ease the international pressure caused by the leak of secrets.
Therefore, even in this changed World War II dimension, Wang Qiu had just established a foothold when he was urged to open a cross-time and space sanatorium again.
However, compared with previous times, the number of people admitted this time was much smaller. First of all, because there are only a limited number of terminally ill patients within a certain period of time, and ordinary people cannot get this ticket to a hospital in another world unless they are in a high position, wealthy, or famous all over the world. Millions of people have been cured in one go before, but now the number of patients has naturally dropped sharply. Secondly, the black technology props from the world of Doraemon that were previously hoarded, especially the medical props, are also limited in quantity and can no longer be purchased and replenished. Use a little and a little less. At this moment, there are still some left. There are not many usable medical items left. If there is no strict limit on the number of people admitted, it is likely to be exhausted in an instant.
If it weren't for these medical props in Doraemon's world, they all have a shelf life. If they are expired and not used, they are likely to be scrapped automatically... Believe it or not, the relevant departments will hide them all in a dark bank insurance vault, and will not let outsiders at all. Touch it?
——Of course, about Wang Qiu secretly stuffing two [Automatic Medical Kits] and several other props into a certain [Time Capsule] with everyone behind his back, and hiding them secretly just in case. , he will naturally not mention it to anyone...
(The setting of "Doraemon", the time in the [Time Capsule] stops passing, and any fresh food can be stored for a century.)
Despite this, they only reduced the number of people receiving treatment from several million to tens of thousands. Wang Qiu and the others still had to deal with the headache of recuperating these people.
At first, Wang Qiu and the others directly set up the time-traveling sanatorium at the Navy Shrine in Truk Guards House, their first stop after crossing planes, and got the consent and help of the ship's wife, Miss Sophie. But the problem is that the Naval Shrine is not big and cannot accommodate too many patients and nursing staff at one time. It is the limit to accommodate more than a dozen patients at the same time. However, it is located close to the Combined Fleet Headquarters. In key departments, even the slightest movement would be discovered and cause trouble... Wang Qiu had no choice but to repeatedly ask them to maintain absolute silence. As a result, the patients complained endlessly, saying that they seemed to be like those in "Annie's Diary" who were trying to avoid being hunted by the Nazis. , and the Jews huddled in the attic.
Later, the Cross-Time Sanatorium was moved to Vladivostok and directly requisitioned an idle military camp of the Soviet border guards. In this way, the problem of a narrow venue and avoiding outside attention was solved, but the Russian winter is really not something that ordinary people can bear, let alone those terminally ill patients who are already suffering from terminal diseases and are generally bedridden and weak... As a result, once After the Jiangnan area was liberated, these people couldn't wait to move to Hangzhou, saying they wanted to experience "the original scenery of the Jiangnan water town before it was polluted by industrial civilization" and enjoy the influence of Jiangnan humanities...
Unexpectedly, just a few days after staying in Hangzhou in the "Agricultural Civilization Era" of this time and space, the very literary and artistic convalescents couldn't bear it anymore and begged Wang Qiu to move the cross-time and space sanatorium to a place that at least had modern infrastructure, and The Port of Perth, Western Australia, has a vast land, sparsely populated area and livable climate.
——The reasons are said to be that the environment is too bad and dirty, the streams and rivers are too smelly, the water is unclean, people have diarrhea after drinking, there is no power supply, etc...
Political Commissar Guo commented on this matter: "...What can be done? Those young and fresh people talk about environmental protection all day long, saying that they would rather have green mountains and green waters than high-rise buildings. What is the reality? If they are allowed to truly industrialize before No one can live in this society for a month without complaining!
Alas, no one likes sticky rivers and mosquitoes breeding everywhere, no one likes boats that are slower than walking and muddy water splashing all over the official road. No one likes washing fruits and cleaning toilets in the same dirty river. But these things themselves are products associated with the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan Water Town. Only through modernization can it be possible to provide modern tourists with a Jiangnan Water Town with beautiful scenery and no dirty water. Why don’t those fresh-minded people understand? ”
"...They will never understand that the mind of an artist is always different from that of ordinary people! Don't you know you are blessed when you are surrounded by blessings!"
Wang Qiu shrugged his shoulders and muttered, "...They always sing about returning to nature, pastoral joy, and the original sin of industrial civilization...What is the actual situation? Don't talk about cutting firewood and cooking without water or electricity. Even the mobile phone signal is not good and I can’t access the Internet. I’m afraid I have to call for a long time!”
Having said that, Wang Qiu and the others have nothing to do with these picky and delicate patients. They can only hold their noses as much as possible to satisfy some of their unreasonable requests under permitted conditions - people who can travel through time and space to treat terminal illnesses. , all have some status. It is Wang Qiu's duty to take good care of them, and it is also a necessary price for the country's various supports and generous allocations: without the behind-the-scenes support of the central government mobilizing the power of the whole country, Wang Qiu's journey through time would have been much more thrilling, and it would have led to various The consequences of the species (including but not limited to attacks by alien monsters) are not so easy to solve.
All in all, as long as these patients can quietly receive treatment here and wait for recovery, and don't run out and cause trouble when curiosity strikes, Wang Qiu and the others should be thankful. In addition, even if they reach out to the nurse in an obscene way, they can still get away with it by turning a blind eye - provided they don't reach into Marikawa Shizuka's ass, which Wang Qiu has regarded as a forbidden object...
Therefore, after complaining a little about these difficult patients, Wang Qiu and the others hurriedly ended this unpleasant topic, and instead shifted the topic to recent anecdotes about life in Australia - since the fleet was in In the state of being stationed and resting, the number of people on board the ship is usually reduced by half, so both the Yamato battleship and other accompanying ships are now much sparser. Every day, half of the queens, ladies and widow sailors take their children or sisters ashore for fun, and they often bring some interesting gadgets when they come back.
Some people collected colorful exotic flowers, some brought fresh cactus fruits, and others brought a small kangaroo, a famous product of Western Australia (much smaller than ordinary kangaroos, about the size of a cat). This kind of This furry thing that looks like a large squirrel is really cute. It made the girls in sailor uniforms on the warship shout "kawaii", and then they hugged the little kangaroo and rubbed it hard... It's a pity that the cute little kangaroo is not as easy to adapt to life on the ship as cats. , it was difficult to raise as a mascot, and in the end it was very regrettable to let it go.
At first glance, the pace of life in Perth Port seems to be so leisurely and affluent, and there does not seem to be many signs of disaster and destruction.
In fact, in this catastrophic year of global climate change, the situation in Australia, which is far away from the war, is also not very good. It was not so good in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, a serious El Niño phenomenon also occurred - however, unlike most of the world, On the contrary, Australia under the El Niño state is not getting colder, but getting hotter. Along with this, there is a sharp decrease in precipitation and widespread drought. Seeing that food production is likely to become a tragedy...
Fortunately, relying on Jian Niang's super power of "turning flat land into a factory" and Western Australia's rich mineral resources, there is at least no shortage of chemical fertilizers for the time being, and high temperatures are actually more conducive to crop growth, provided there is sufficient irrigation water - for this reason , Wang Qiu moves again Using the black technology props of Doraemon's plane to control the weather, several unscientific heavy rains fell on the city of Perth and its surrounding areas, finally ensuring that the Swan River Basin Agricultural Area (Australia's "Wheat Belt") was protected this year. The output of grain, vegetables and fruits will not decline. As for other places...that is beyond the scope of capabilities.
So, in Australia, the smoke of war seems to have dissipated, and the signs of famine have been suppressed in their infancy. A prosperous market, convenient modern life, and an abundant supply of food and daily necessities...except for the different skin colors of the humans living here, everything seems so calm and peaceful. At least when you stay on the docked Yamato, you can only feel the lazy and leisurely ordinary daily life under the bright sunshine.
However, this does not prevent Wang Qiu and the others from learning about various disasters and catastrophes in other corners of the world through various modern communication and reconnaissance methods.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※PS: I checked the information and found that in recent years, China In fact, the most unscrupulous military is not the US military commander who requires veterans to return their bonuses, pay money and lose their lives, but the Myanmar military government... However, after the devastating floods in Myanmar, they set up traffic jams to intercept international rescue convoys, confiscated the relief supplies and resold them on the international black market, and pocketed all the money. Foreign volunteers could not even enter the disaster-stricken areas of Myanmar to carry out humanitarian relief unless they paid the money to pay for their way. Which country suffered this? Did the disaster kill people?
